Tips for handling networking events? I’ve gone to several events lately and I’ve been the only black person (or POC period) in rooms of 200+ people. As much as I try to blend in and “work the room”, I leave these events feeling mentally and physically drained and like I don’t belong.

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)
